Overview

IAU Symposium S278, entitled “Archeoastronomy and Ethnoastronomy: Building Bridges between Cultures”, took place in Lima, Peru, on January 5–14, 2011. This was also an “Oxford” Symposium on Archeoastronomy, the ninth in what is certainly the foremost series of international conferences on the topic. Meetings in the series have been held at roughly four-yearly intervals since 1981, when Michael Hoskin, the then-Commission 41 President, organised the first.

One of the most important aspects of the conference was the strong link with the IAU’s new decadal strategic plan, “Astronomy for the Developing World”. In his opening address IAU Vice-President George Miley1 described the strategic plan as an ambitious blueprint to mobilize talented astronomers, engineers and teachers around the world in the service of developing countries. The “building bridges” of the title refers to the connections between cultural astronomy and the advancement of modern astronomy in the developing world, and the conference succeeded in sparking off several initiatives to identify and develop these connections in the coming months and years. As George pointed out: “Astronomy is a unique tool for development because it combines cutting-edge technology with fundamental science and also has deep cultural roots.” It is the business of archaeoastronomy to explore these roots.

This was the first ever IAU Symposium explicitly concerning this highly interdisciplinary topic, one of interest not only to astronomers but also to archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, architects, art historians, historians of religions and others. This was also the first “Oxford” conference to be held in South America, thus providing a unique opportunity to strengthen the community of scholars practicing ethno- and archaeoastronomy in South America and to forge stronger links between them and the global community of researchers. In order to balance global participation and regional engagement, one and a half days of the four- and-a-half-day main conference (Jan 5–9) were devoted to South American topics, while the three-day Regional Meeting (Jan 12–14) was devoted exclusively to Latin America.

The two parts of the conference attracted a total of 120 participants including 9 young Peruvian scholars and students awarded scholarships by one of the local organisers, the Anglo-Peruvian Cultural Association (ACPB). The conference attracted considerable media attention in local and national newspapers and magazines.

Scientific highlights of the meeting

One of the key characteristics of the “Oxford” conferences is the avoidance of parallel sessions, giving everyone the opportunity to hear talks by the full range of specialists, and to come into direct contact with disciplinary approaches very different from their own. The “Oxford” conferences provide a leading forum of interchange between diverse disciplines, and seven invited keynote lectures set the stage for this in Lima:

• Stephen McCluskey (USA): The two cultures of archaeoastronomy and the history of science

1 Sadly, George himself had to withdraw from the conference for health reasons, and his words were conveyed by Clive Ruggles. • Gary Urton (USA): What can the study of astronomy contribute to anthropology? An Andean perspective

• Alejandro López (Argentina): Ethnoastronomy as an academic field: the outline of a South American programme

• Johanna Broda (Mexico): Offerings and spatio-temporal order in Mesoamerica: indigenous mathematics and archaeoastronomy in comparative perspective

• Edmundo Edwards (Easter Island): The Polynesian ritual cycle of activities and their archaeological markers in Eastern Polynesia

• Ricardo Moyano (Chile): Sub-tropical astronomy in the southern Andes

• John Steele (USA): Astronomy and culture in Late Babylonian Uruk

(Unfortunately, visa problems prevented Professor Sun Xiaochun from attending the conference and presenting his keynote speech on Archaeoastronomy in China.)

Clive Ruggles’s opening keynote, “Pushing back the frontiers or still running around the same circles? ‘Interpretative archaeoastronomy’ thirty years on” ensured that cutting-edge issues of field methodology and social theory were to the fore. Archaeoastronomy is a science that addresses social questions, and it is essential not only to do meticulous science in the field but also to produce anthropologically viable interpretations.

The many highlights among the contributed papers included several on aspects of indigenous astronomical practices in Argentina, Brazil, and other South American countries; David Pankenier’s study of the cosmological design of ritual precincts in Imperial China; Efrosyni Boutsikas and Robert Hannah’s integration of evidence from archaeoastronomy and historical literature to reconstruct aspects of ancient Greek cult practices and their relationship to particular constellations; and Flora Vafea’s reconstruction, from historical accounts, of the use of a modified astrolabe to predict the visibility of the lunar crescent by tenth- and eleventh-century Muslim astronomers.

A thematic half-day session on “The 2012 phenomenon: Maya calendar, astronomy, and apocalypticism in the worlds of scholarship and global popular culture”, organized by John Carlson and Mark van Stone, linked together studies of Mayan literature and of modern “alternative” beliefs. Another on “The archaeoastronomy of the Casma Valley, Peru”, organized by Robert Benfer, provided some detailed debate about the interpretation of the now-famous thirteen towers of Chankillo, a solar observation site dating to c. 300 BC, and of related sites nearby, which was followed up by a two-day visit to the area.

A particular highlight of the conference was a public lecture by Gary Urton, Professor of Anthropology at Harvard University, entitled “The Role of Khipu Cord-Keeping in Inka Astronomy: Calendrics and State Administration”, describing how the Inka khipus (knotted-cord strings) functioned as a record-keeping device important in the maintenance of Inka administrative practices relating to time, materiality, and power. Professor Urton also provided an expert commentary on the khipus held in the museum at the Inca site of Puruchuco, visited on a half-day mid-conference excursion. IAU Symposium 279

UNION ASTRONOMIQUE INTERNATIONALE

IAU Symposium 280

Toledo, Spain 30 May – 3 June 2011

REPORT

Over 400 participants from 30 countries gathered in Toledo, Spain to attend IAU Symposium 280, entitled “The Molecular Universe,” which took place from 30 May – 3 June 2011 at the Technological Campus of the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Toledo, Spain. This is the main worldwide conference in the field of astrochemistry, held every ~5 years, and covering all areas in which molecules are found, from Solar system to the highest redshift galaxies. This breadth of topics sets the IAU symposia series apart from other meetings in the field. The weather was mainly sunny but not overly hot, allowing for many informal outdoor interactions. The Local Organizing Committee, chaired by J. Cernicharo, who was assisted by R. Bachiller, organized both the scientific and structural aspects of the meeting very well, including a delightful banquet and preceding concert. Almost all possible problems were handled amicably by M. Castellanos before the meeting was held. The cultural mecca that is Toledo added a sense of awe and excitement to the symposium, and was very easy to reach by rapid train from Madrid. The large size of the meeting did not interfere with the proceedings in any way; the auditorium where the talks were held was large enough for all participants, and the audio and video systems operated quite well. A large number of questions were asked of speakers, who, given their relative youth and diversity, brought many different viewpoints to the proceedings. The three dedicated 2.5-hr. poster sessions were very well attended and enriched the experience of the participants. The sessions were enlivened by tapas and by a variety of beverages. Informal conversations, held at intermissions from the speaking program, and during the poster sessions, were many and spirited. The large number of younger scientists at the meeting was quite impressive, and confirmed that the field of astrochemistry is entering a period of rapid growth led by new and exceedingly powerful telescopes. Whether the next meeting in the series of IAU symposia on astrochemistry can be held in the same format or will require at least some multiple sessions remains to be seen and depends upon whether the growth in size from one symposium to the next continues to occur.

The scientific organization of the symposium was undertaken by a very active IAU Working Group on Astrochemistry, under the sponsorship of IAU Commission 34 (Division VI), with co- sponsorship provided by Division VI (Interstellar Matter), Division VIII (Galaxies and the Universe), Division X (Radio Astronomy) as well as Commissions 51 (Bio-astronomy), 36 (Theory of Stellar Atmospheres), and 14 (Atomic and Molecular Data). In addition to funds from the IAU, the symposium was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and the University of Castilla – La Mancha as well as by the personal research funds of J. Cernicharo (Head, LOC) and funds from his institute. There have now been six IAU symposia on astrochemistry, starting with the one held in India (1985; IAU Symposium 120). Later meetings in the series were held in Brazil (1991; IAU Symposium 150), the Netherlands (1996; IAU Symposium 178); South Korea (1999; IAU Symposium 197), and California, USA (2005; IAU Symposium 231). Each symposium has been larger than its predecessor, showing that astrochemistry is becoming a larger and more diverse community.

The scientific program of the symposium was divided into three parts: invited and review talks, contributed talks, and poster presentations. The Scientific Organizing Committee, which was the Working Group on Astrochemistry, democratically elected the speakers who gave contributed talks among the many applicants. Overall, there were 41 invited and review talks, 32 contributed talks, and 323 posters. In the oral program were three sessions on new results from the Herschel Space Observatory labeled “Herschel hot results,” as well as a panel discussion entitled “On to ALMA.” The panel members adjudicated a contest in which young investigators competed to win a prize for the best and next best projects for ALMA with the constraint of at most 10 hours observing time. There were three large poster sessions, and awards were given to the best posters in each of the three from personal funds by E. van Dishoeck. During the third poster session, there were also computer demonstrations of databases. The abstracts for all contributions to the symposium can be found on the NASA Astrophysics Data System and on the conference website: http://www.cab.inta- csic.es/molecular_universe/show-abstracts.php, where actual poster presentations have been uploaded by many of the authors. For those of you who prefer videos, a number of interviews and highlights of the three poster sessions can be found on the IAU Symposium 280 YouTube Channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/IAUsymposium280). Invited and review talks will appear in the symposium volume, edited by J. Cernicharo and R. Bachiller.

After brief words of welcome by E. van Dishoeck, chair of the SOC, and J. Cernicharo, chair of the LOC, the 4.5-day oral program started with a general introduction on the molecular universe by A. Tielens, which was followed by a session on star formation. This field has become broader since the last astrochemistry symposium, and observational talks concerning stages of both low-mass and high-mass star formation were given, as was a theoretical talk on a new class of models that combine hydrodynamics with chemical simulations in the formation of protostellar cores. This session was followed by the first session of hot results from Herschel, which emphasized observations of water vapor, molecules in protostellar shocks, and a wide spectral survey toward Orion KL.

Astrochemistry certainly extends to planetary studies, including solar system objects. A session on these objects was held after lunch on the first day of the meeting, starting with a review talk on the chemistry of the solar system, including the origin of water on Earth, which was followed by talks on comets, meteorites, and the atmospheres of Titan and Saturn. The power of sample return missions to solar system bodies was emphasized.

The second day of the meeting started with a session on evolved stars, in which supernova chemistry was also discussed. Talks on the molecular evolution from AGB stars to planetary nebulae, the role of time-dependent anionic chemistry (involving negatively-charge molecules) in IRC+10216, and the detection of fullerenes in assorted environments rounded out the session. Complex molecules are well known in IRC+10216 and other selected circumstellar sources, so this session merged well with the next one on star formation and complex molecules. Here observations of complex molecules were discussed in a variety of objects, along with current gas-grain simulations as well as possible future simulations involving the use of stochastic methods to improve the surface chemistry occurring in granular icy mantles.

Astrochemistry is based on the laboratory and theoretical study of basic atomic and molecular processes, and two sessions were held on this subject. The first concerned gas-phase processes, where a review talk was given on gas-phase reactions as a function of temperature, followed by a talk concerning the theory of low-temperature reactions, and one on experimental studies on the rates of reactions involving anions and how they relate to the observations of such species in various sources. The second day of the meeting ended with another Herschel hot topic session, highlighted by the report of an unambiguous detection of molecular oxygen in the interstellar medium.

The topic of protoplanetary disks occupied the first group of speakers on Wednesday, with talks on the phenomenal developments in observations at a variety of wavelengths ranging from the

! 2! ! millimeter to the far-UV and an emphasis on interferometry. Modeling was also discussed, as was the chemical history of molecules from the hot core to the disk stage. Another session on basic molecular processes followed, this one emphasizing surface processes in the laboratory and in space. Much progress has been made during the last decade in this field, but there is still a great need for further laboratory studies before robust interstellar chemical simulations including surface processes can be constructed.

Although most of astrochemistry still revolves around galactic sources, the field of extragalactic astrochemistry will receive a big boost with the onset of ALMA observations. So, it was quite appropriate to have a session on extragalactic astrochemistry, which was held on Thursday morning. This field was understood to include the early universe, so talks on early chemistry were included along with a talk on extragalactic line surveys. It is impressive to see spectra of extragalactic sources with similar complexity to those found in galactic star-forming regions three decades ago! Next in line was the explosive topic of exoplanets and their atmospheres, which will occupy more and more astrochemists as more is learned about planetary atmospheres. Talks on observations, atmospheric models and their chemistry, as well as biomarkers of habitable worlds were included. The inclusion of astrobiology is a sign that this field is gaining importance and certainly overlaps with areas of astrochemistry such as the formation of complex molecules. The final session on Thursday concerned the tools of analysis and databases. Starting with a brief memorial to the late astronomer and astrochemist Gisbert Winnewisser, this session included talks on how to reduce the problem of unidentified lines in hot cores, on various tools for analysis of spectral surveys, on a legacy line survey from the Nobeyama telescope, and on databases and their uses. The session ended with the panel discussion discussed previously.

The last day of the symposium started with a session nominally on diffuse clouds and photon- dominated regions (PDRs). The role of turbulence in diffuse clouds was discussed, as was a controversial candidate for a carrier of several diffuse interstellar bands (H2C3). A talk on both PDRs and XDRs (X-ray dominated regions) was given as was a more general talk on diffuse interstellar bands. A number of aspects of the PAH hypothesis were touched upon. Finally, the complex nature of the central molecular zone of our galaxy, as seen through the infra-red spectrum of H3+, was explored. Next came the third of the Herschel hot topic sessions, which included talks on observations of diffuse clouds in the spiral arms of the Milky Way, carbon chemistry in translucent clouds, and the detection of C3 in envelopes of star-forming regions. The detection of the reactive ions OH+ and H2O+ in a variety of sources was an exceptionally interesting topic. The oral program was concluded with an exceedingly thoughtful summary of the field, past, present, and future, by J. Black.

The reader of the written volume can expect to find a cornucopia of riches concerning the state of astrochemistry before the fundamental changes that will occur when observations using the ALMA interferometer add greatly to our knowledge of sources throughout the universe. By the time of the next astrochemical symposium, much progress will have been made and the field will have grown both in size and, we trust, in understanding.

! 3! REPORT OF ACTIVITIES WORKING GROUP ON ASTROCHEMISTRY DIVISION VI (INTERSTELLAR MATTER) COMMISSION 34 The current working group on astrochemistry has performed one of its last major functions in planning IAU Symposium 280,“The Molecular Universe” which was held in late May to early June in Toledo, Spain. In the near future, a new working group will be constituted with Tom Millar (Queens University Belfast, Northern Ireland, president) and Satoshi Yamamoto (University of Tokyo, Japan) Secretary. The working group has also proposed an upgrade of the group to a Commission on Astrochemistry. Over 435 participants from 31 countries gathered in Toledo, Spain to attend IAU Symposium 280, which took place from 30 May to 3 June 2011 at the Technological Campus of the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Toledo, Spain.

Three months after the end of this symposium, the Nobel prize for physics was awarded to three astrophysicists who inferred the existence of dark energy from type Ia supernovae data. Undoubtedly, it was a great year for scientists working on the mystery represented by type Ia supernovae. The environment of the IAU Symposium 281 resonated with energy and enthusiasm, the sessions were exciting and full of ideas. Although the number that gathered at Padova in July of 2011 was smaller than in other, more general symposia, we are proud to say that we organized the meeting of a vibrating, very active group of scientists. 131 participants came from 30 different countries. A third were women, reflecting well the present composition of the world’s astronomers’ population. We had made an experiment, constituting a Scientific Organizing Committee of 16 women and one man. This did not attract a larger women to participate than the actual fraction of women working in our field, however we believe it was a positive experience, creating a feeling of a gender-bias-free atmosphere and facilitating young women’s participation in the discussions. It was also a small provocative action to make our colleagues talk about gender biases in astronomy, and we think it worked positively. Graduate students and young post-doctoral fellows were a large fraction and the attendees. The many young participants brought enthusiasm and new ideas. The atmosphere was thus refreshing, charged with expectations and possibilities. I have only one regret: since we had to announce the symposium dates a year and a half in advance, thereby missing the possibility to adjust the dates depending on new proposed conference of related subjects. A large supernova conference was held in Australia shortly before our symposium on the progenitors, so potential US participants found it difficult to travel to two different continents within a fortnight. However, the participation of the supernova scientists, theorists and observers alike, was fundamental for the success of the symposium, meant to bring together different communities of astrophysicists: those working on supernovae, on close binary evolution, and on binary populations. A previous “SNova” semester- long program and conference were held 5 years earlier at the Kavli Institute in Santa Barbara. Those of us who took part either of them came home enriched and energized. Our aim was to rekindle the spirit of this previous experience and I am proud to say we were successful. There were many highlights in this conference and by mentioning a few I do not want to downplay the importance of any of the other topics. As a ``nova’’ scientist, I found it fascinating to learn about the variety of possible models leading to the explosion and the possibility of ``sub-Chandra’’ models seems to be intriguing and important to explore. A short talk by S. Mohamed on detailed simulations of the Roche lobe overflow seemed innovative and sparked many questions and discussions. The possibility of detecting gravitational waves from close binaries with white dwarfs with LISA in future years is very exciting. The population synthesis calculations in the new era of large surveys with unprecedented statistics are more important than ever. The unexpected bonus of three eruptions of luminous recurrent novae within a little over two years before this Symposium, allowed new estimates of WD masses and compositions. The possibility that many recurrent novae may host neon oxygen white dwarfs seems less unlikely now. Brand new spectra of the 10m South African large Telescope were presented almost in ``real time’’. Optical spectroscopy appears also to be fundamental in probing the environment in which SNe Ia explode, and Patat’s talk on the likely ``recurrent-nova- like’’ circumstellar environment opened up new possibilities to search for the signature of single degenerate progenitors. Kilic’s radial velocity studies are paving a new avenue to search for double degenerates and obtain statistics of these systems. Marat Gilfanov was invited to take part in a debate with several of us to defend his position that the integrated supersoft X-ray luminosity of galaxies may rule out a large contribution of single degenerate progenitors. Many of us had a different opinion, so we confronted results and theoretical predictions. To me, this all science is about, constantly testing one’s results and confronting them with others. I am proud to say we achieved this goal in Padova. Throughout the Symposium we experienced that tense and vibrating atmosphere that fosters intellectual and scientific development. For me, the best part of the conference was the participation of three very young scientists from developing countries, at the initial stages of graduate studies, who obtained a grant to participate not only in the Padova conference, but also doing research in Italy for the whole Summer. Levon Aramayan from Armenia, Narges Jami-Aliahamadi from Iran and Norsia Hashim from Malaysia were a wonderful presence with their fresh ideas and enthusiasm. Spending the Summer in contact with them and following their first steps in scientific research was very rewarding and made even the days of the Symposium more meaningful for me. Many thanks to the ``mystery speakers’’ selected without knowledge of the other particpants to summarize the symposium at the end. Mukremin Kilic, Lilia Ferrario and Alvio Renzini did an excellent job focusing on ``what we were taking home’’ from this conference. Special thanks go to the participants who gave public talks to the general public in Padova: Mario Livio, Lilia Ferrario and Bob Williams. Their contribution was greatly appreciated by a large number of people in the community in which we live! Finally, we offered an interesting and entertaining social program, with nice welcome parties and a wonderful dinner on the Colli Euganei. However, the restrictions on the registration fee and the greatly increased publication cost of the proceedings posed some challenges and made the finances difficult to manage for a small symposium. For instance, the majority of the scientififc committee thought that a common venue for the lunches was important to keep up the discussions and to save time in the middle of the day, but unfortunately we could not offer a discount price and guarantee the restaurant a minimum number of participants because there was no way to include lunch in the registration fee budget. I will not dwell here on other finance-related problems, but I would like to let the IAU know that more flexibility on the registration fee would actually make the total cost to the participants smaller, not larger. This is especially important for the smaller, more specifically focused symposia, which I believe are also very important to bring forward the scientific mission of the IAU.

Scientific Highlights of IAU Symposium 282

From Interacting Binaries to Exoplanets: Essential Modeling Tools

IAU Symposium 282 entitled “From Interacting Binaries to Exoplanets: Essential Modeling Tools” was organized to bring the exoplanet and binary star communities together to discuss the many techniques that are already being shared, and that may possibly be shared in the future. More specifically, the goal was to demonstrate the extent to which current computer programs are effective in modeling observations of interacting binary stars, brown dwarfs, and exoplanets; to identify ways to improve these codes by incorporating more detailed and realistic physics, while maximizing computer capacity; and to examine how to utilize active and proposed survey projects like Kepler, LSST, and Gaia to obtain data of the highest quality that can be modeled to extract optimal physical parameters, specifically to improve our understanding of the physics. The acceleration of discoveries of brown dwarfs and exoplanets and the rapid influx of very precise light curves from programs like CoRoT and Kepler provide additional stimuli for improving our modeling techniques. In summary, this conference focused on the tools (detection, imaging techniques, modeling codes, computational power) as they are applied to interacting binaries, brown dwarfs, and exoplanets.

The main scientific highlight of the conference was that this goal was fully achieved. Consequently, most participants of the conference characterized it as extremely valuable and highly educational. There were 46 main lectures in addition to the opening lecture and two summary lectures, plus 57 three-minute mini-talks and 121 posters. Thirty-one countries were represented at the meeting. Also, 26% of the main speakers and 40% of the session chairs were female.

The conference was organized into eight scientific topics, complemented by an opening and a closing session. The scientific highlights of the individual sessions were:

Opening Lecture This lecture reviewed the modeling tools as well as several open problems in the field. As a result, an IAU Resolution will be drafted to adopt updated astrophysical parameters and constants to improve the accuracy of fundamental parameters. These include the use of GM(Sun) since this product is more accurate than the product of the separate quantities.

Multiwavelength Photometry and Spectroscopy of Interacting Binaries Several excellent review talks were presented about existing and future ground-based and space-based observational instruments devoted to a study of close binaries, with an overview of observational techniques and results. As a connection to exoplanet studies, one talk was devoted to the impact of CoRoT and Kepler on the close binary research. To provide a perspective for a future research, an extremely interesting talk was presented on planned Gaia and LSST missions.

Observations and Analysis of Exoplanets and Brown Dwarfs The session was opened by Didier Queloz, a co-discoverer of the first exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star. He summarized the present status of exoplanet search with an emphasis on the radial velocity techniques, and outlined the expected development of the field in the near future. The remaining talks concentrated both on exoplanets and brown dwarfs, emphasizing mostly the transiting planets observed by CoRoT and Kepler. There was also a very interesting talk which specifically described brown dwarfs in binary systems. Imaging Techniques for Binary Stars, Brown Dwarfs, and Exoplanets The highlights included several excellent reviews covering different topics of imaging: interferometry, Doppler tomography, polarimetry, vortex coronagraphy, nulling interferometry, adaptive optics, and direct imaging. A collection of talks on essentially all possible detection techniques was highly appreciated by the audience because it enabled the researchers to evaluate advantages and drawbacks of the individual techniques.

Model Atmospheres of Stars, Interacting Binaries, Disks, Exoplanets, and Brown Dwarfs This session was a collection of review talks devoted to modeling tools for the individual components of the close binary or exoplanetary systems - individual stars, planets, and accompanied disk-like structures. The talks summarized most of the currently used model atmospheres codes for computing LTE as well as non-LTE model atmospheres, model atmospheres of exoplanets, extended atmospheres with stellar winds, and 3-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of stellar atmospheres. Several interesting new results were presented, for instance a possible use of accurately determined limb darkening coefficients for constraining basic stellar parameters.

Synthetic Light Curves, Velocity Curves, Spectra of Binary Stars, and Spectra of Binaries with Accretion Structures The new variants of the classical methods and programs for solving the light curves were discussed in this session, as well as the codes that aim at computing the spectrum of a complex close binary system by modeling in detail both stars and the circumstellar accretion structures around them. One of the main highlights was a presentation and statistical survey of a large number of the close binaries discovered by the Kepler mission.

Techniques for Analysis of Spectra and Light Curves The highlights of this session were two talks about two independent methods of spectral disentangling of the components of the binary system and their possible extensions to exoplanetary spectra. Other highlights included a talk on the history of the Rossiter-McLaughlin Effect followed by applications of the technique to transiting planets and low mass eclipsing binaries. In fact, this method represents the closest methodological connection between close binary and exoplanetary research. The effect was used earlier to identify critical properties of close binary systems, and it is now providing an analogously rich source of information in the case of exoplanets.

Formation and Evolution of Binary Stars, Brown Dwarfs, and Planets This session presented several excellent reviews on stellar evolution of the components of a close binary system, as well as dynamical models of formation and evolution of exoplanets. The highlights were a discussion and summary of non-conservative effects in the evolution of binaries, and a talk synthesizing simultaneous modeling of atmospheres and the global evolution of exoplanets.

Hydrodynamic Simulations of Exoplanets and Mass Transfer in Interacting Binaries The session dealt with close binary and exoplanet dynamics, including 3-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the atmospheres of these objects, and the mass transfer between them. The highlights were several simulations that showed the ever-increasing power of current numerical simulations to provide a detailed picture of mass transfer in the case of young binaries with low mass companions, common envelope binaries, and how magnetic fields influence cataclysmic variables and polars. One simulation also considered the meteorology of exoplanet atmospheres via models of global atmospheric circulations and transport of energy from the day to the night side for close-in giant exoplanets.

Summary Lectures There were two summarizing talks, one on observational techniques, and the other on the theoretical techniques. The latter talk, besides summarizing recent progress, concentrated on a detailed discussion of open problems in the theory and challenges for the future.

Panel Discussions Panel Discussions were held at the end of each day to summarize the lectures and to make proposals for enhancements to current techniques. Twelve influential astronomers who have contributed to the development of important modeling tools or who have provided insightful reviews of these developments were invited to participate in the symposium as distinguished panelists: France Allard, Alan Batten, Edwin Budding, Edward Devinney, Peter Eggleton, Artie Hatzes, Ivan Hubeny, Wilhelm Kley, Helmut Lammer, Albert Linnell, Virginia Trimble, and Robert E. Wilson. On the first day, they discussed the historical boundaries between stars, stellar remnants, brown dwarfs, and planets based on their masses, energy production processes, and evolutionary stages. It was an opportunity to re-examine these objects beyond the established ideology. On subsequent days, there were lively discussions of various topics presented during the day, with the enthusiastic participation of the audience.

Education and Public Outreach Event in Poprad The conference was advertised to the public on the TV radio, and in the newspapers. The public was specifically invited to attend a popular talk by Ivan Hubeny on “Detecting and Studying Extrasolar Planets,” in the Czech language (which is very close to the native Slovak language). The presentation was given in the Town Hall in the nearby city of Poprad, and it was well received by the public. Thirty-seven people attended the lecture and many of them asked questions.

Commemoration of the 110th Anniversary of the Birth of Dr. Antonín Bečvář An exhibition of several posters was prepared by Dr. Ladislav Hric to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Antonín Bečvář, founder of the Skalnate Pleso Observatory and author of several famous atlases and catalogues: Atlas Coeli, Atlas Borealis, Atlas Eclipticalis and Atlas Australis which were used nightly by astronomers around the world for almost half a century. The posters were displayed in the main conference lecture hall during the conference.

IAU Symposium 284, jointly organised by the University of Central Lan- cashire (Preston) and the Max-Plank Institut f¨ur Kernphysik (Heidelberg), brought together developers and users of self-consistent physical or semi- empirical models for the emergent panchromatic spectral energy distribu- tions (SEDs) of galaxies ranging over the complete accessible spectral range from gamma-rays to radio. Motivated by the rapid developmentinthecor- responding observational capabilities in the last decade, the main goal of the symposium was to provide a forum for the interaction of modellers with both observers assembling multiwavelength datasets on galaxiesandtheoreticians considering fundamental physical processes in galaxies. The program was fashioned to reflect the interconnections between the very broad range of physical processes responsible for the panchromatic pho- ton output of galaxies. This embraced the formation, evolution and emission of stars; accretion-driven sources of photons; the chemicalandphysicalprop- erties of the interstellar medium, including both the gaseous and solid-state components and their interactions with ambient photon fields; and high en- ergy processes involving cosmic rays. On the last day a final session was dedicated to models for the evolution of the panchromatic SEDs of galaxies over cosmological time, thus linking the detailed physical processes in indi- vidual galaxies discussed earlier in the week with the photonoutputofthe Universe. All of these topics have, of course, been the subjects of many dedicated individual symposia in the past, attended largely by their own specialized communities. However, IAU symposium 284 was unique in its concept of connecting the topics and bringing together the communities(oratleastmak- ing a significant step towards achieving this). A particular challenge of this concept was to avoid the symposium becoming a sequence of self-contained mini-workshops on each of the constituent topics, addressing selected topical issues directed at, and attended by, one particular community. However, in this respect any prior concerns proved to be completely unfounded. All the delegates, representing a mix of theoreticians, observers,andspecialistsin the many technical and astrophysical subfields needed to build SED models, proved to be enthustiastic and proactive participants throughout the week, generating many perceptive, and sometimes unexpected interdiscipinary dis- cussions following both the oral presentations (many of these discussions could be documented for inclusion in the proceedings) and in the poster

1 sessions. There were no parallel sessions. In general, the intellectual at- mosphere was open and constructive, with several known examples of new collaborations arising from discussions initiated at the symposium. For this, particular thanks must go to the authors for their careful preparation of the presentations. These were generally well directed to the broad audience, while very effectively answering the call for papers to highlight techniques and results combining measurements made from across the electromagnetic spectrum. Indeed, this response to the symposium confirms thegenuineneed and demand for more effective quantitative analysis techniques to exploit the already copious amounts of multwavelength data now available for galaxies near and far. The open and exploratory tone for the symposium was set by the intro- ductory review by Barry Madore (“The Reification of Galaxies:Cognitive Astrophysics and the Multiwavelength Inverse Problem”) which, using exam- ples from everyday life and the art world as well as from astrophysics, was a thought-provoking philosophical discourse on the extent towhichastrophysi- cists can ever hope to extract a “true and complete” understanding of galaxies based on the unavoidably biased viewpoints available to us. Throughout the succeeding sessions, many examples of this fundamental issue emerged, both positive, in the sense of a different (and perhaps better informed) picture emerging from a multiwavelength view, and negative, in the sense that we may not have been aware, or cannot easily observationally constrain, some fundamental property shaping galaxian SEDs. A vivid (and, tomany,unex- pected) example of the latter was contained in the review by Claus Leitherer on population synthesis, which emphasised that the effectivetemperature,lu- minosity and ionising radiation of massive stars was strongly dependent not only on mass and metallicity, but also on the rotation of the stars. Examples of the former came in several presentations showing impressive comparisons between the observed UV/optical-FIR/submm emission of various types of galaxies and AGN, and predictions based on radiation transfer calculations. Aparticularhighlightofthemeetingwasthesessionlinkinglow-and high-energy properties of galaxies. Although mainly confined to the Milky Way (included as a separate topic for this reason) and the two starburst galaxies already detected in gamma-rays by ground and space-borne facili- ties, the session confirmed the very rich potential of a combined analysis of the radio tracers of interstellar gas, infrared/optical tracers of photon fields and dust column, and the low and high energy gamma-ray tracers of gas and cos- mic ray electrons and protons. Various presentations showednewmodelling

2 results on different aspects of this, connecting issues such as the nature of the so-called “dark gas”, the emissivity of grains, the energy-dependent propaga- tion of cosmic rays (both within gas clouds and on galaxy-widescales),and the strength of ambient magnetic fields. The invited talk of Luigi Costamante in the same session also considered the impact of gamma-ray astronomy on inferences of the UV/optical/infrared emission of the ensemble of distant galaxies, as derived from the attenuation of TeV emission from blazars by pair production in the intergalactic radiation field. This could be compared and contrasted with inferences from direct observations of the extragalactic background light in the UV/optical/infrared, reviewed by Kalevi Mattila, as well as with constraints from theoretical modelling of blazar SEDs. This led on to a detailed consideration of the panchromatic radiationfromgalaxies as a probe of galaxy formation and evolution by Michael Rowan-Robinson, with strong physical insights to the field. The symposium was attended by participants from 33 different coun- tries from Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa and Aus- tralia/Oceania, with a balanced representation between professors, senior scientists and young career scientists, postdoctoral fellows and PhD students. This large variety of scientists from all continents, at different stages in their career and professional achievements, together with the interdisciplinary na- ture of the meeting led to a fantastic scientific interaction between delegates, as documented in the written feedback received from the participants. The large and international attendance of the Symposium, as well as the prestige brought by the invited speakers and members of the SOC attracted alotofpublicattentioninLancashire.Thiswasreflectedbythe impressive attendance of the public talk by Prof. Don Kurz from the University of Central Lancashire, on “The Beauty of Galaxies: from the Milky Way to the Beginning of Time”, organised on the occasion of IAU Symp. 284. The participants of the symposium very much appreciated the visit and guided tour to the beautiful “Houghton Tower”, with history dating back to the Norman Conquest, and whose famous guests had included William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and King James I. The conference banquet was held in the main hall of the Tower, in the same room (and, formembers of the SOC at the very same same oak table) where King James I, ata banquet held in his honour, famously knighted a loin of beef “Sir Loin”, four hundred years previously.

Scientific summary and highlights of the meeting

IAU Symposium 286, "Comparative Magnetic Minima: Characterizing Quiet Times in the Sun and Stars", was coordinated through Division II, with the strong support of Division IV, including several of their associated commissions. It was held in Mendoza, Argentina from 3 to 7 October 2011. The symposium attracted scientific experts on the various topics pertinent to the meeting from all over the world. The goal of IAU Symposium 286 was to consider solar and stellar minima, from generative dynamo mechanisms to in- depth analyses from Sun to Earth for recent well-observed and modeled minima, to a range of stellar cyclic activity, to outlier "grand minima". Solar, heliospheric, geospace, atmospheric, stellar, and planetary sciences were included in the meeting's scope.

Solar and stellar minima represent times of low magnetic activity and simple helio/asterospheres. They are, thus, excellent targets for interdisciplinary, system-wide studies of the origins of stellar variability and consequent impacts on planetary systems. The recent solar minimum extended longer and was "quieter" than any we have observed in the Space Age, inspiring both scientific and public interest. A rich variety of satellite and ground- based observations, in conjunction with theoretical and numerical modeling advances, have allowed us to probe the peculiarities of this minimum as never before. The implications are far-reaching, connecting Earth to Sun to stars, radio to X-ray to cosmic rays, and the plethora of observations of recent minima to the Sun's past behavior as preserved in cosmogenic isotopes and historical sunspot and auroral records.

At the meeting, both invited and contributed presentations were given describing how magnetic fields can be cyclically generated in solar and stellar interiors via various dynamo processes. Numerical models have increased in complexity to the point where many observed aspects of the cycles in the Sun and stars are captured, although mysteries remain such as the origins of extended, or "Grand" Minima. Both stellar observations and historical and cosmogenic records at the Earth were presented to form a basis of understanding of such fascinating intervals, and of solar/stellar long-term variability in general. Along the same lines, a simple method to reconcile the Zürich Sunspot Number and the Group Sunspot Number was presented, with important and wide ranging implications towards an agreed upon and vetted single sunspot series for use in the future.

Detailed examination of the recent extended solar minimum revealed that it was the lowest and longest minimum in about a century, having weak polar magnetic fields, a complex corona and heliosphere, and recurrent high-speed streams. Simultaneously, it was found that solar minima do not all look alike, given that the Sun can have different magnetic flux configurations even during very quiet times, yielding distinct 3D magnetic flux distributions and, therefore, diverse structure of the corona and heliosphere. The larger fraction of higher-order harmonic content implicates that the corona is generally far from dipolar, so that the solar wind has many low- to mid-latitude coronal-hole sources. The many boundaries of these sources, including pseudo-streamers (large-scale closed fields that do not overlie the main solar neutral line), contribute with many transients to the solar wind, seen as blobs and other non-explosive features in images and as features with ICME-like characteristics at 1 AU. During this recent minimum, the solar field has achieved a solar maximum-like corona and solar wind source situation but with weak magnetic fields and associated weak heating. The discussed results point out the need for textbooks and solar physics educators to revise the way they describe the solar wind and its sources.

In addition, the recent extended solar minimum provoked discussions on the possibility of a trend in the Sun's current magnetic cycles towards a Grand Minimum, and the potential implications for the Earth's climate. For instance, there is evidence that a strong decrease of the solar activity can lead to a delay of ozone recovery, partially compensating greenhouse warming, and that irradiance variability is the most important forcing for global problems. A combination of the bottom-up and top-down models seems appropriate for the radiative solar forcing of the atmosphere. The phase shift between the solar radiative forcing of surface climate and the solar cycle, indicated by SORCE measurements, will have an important effect on climate modeling. Although the forcing due to anthropogenic influences is about seven times larger than the radiative solar forcing, it can be assured that solar activity does affect climate, establishing the need for a constrained set of future solar forcings and maintenance, and extension, of all relevant observations.

The question of the origins and implications of cyclic behavior, for the Sun-Earth system and also for other stellar-planetary systems, was the subject of several presentations. For instance, it was shown that induced magnetospheres, such as that of Venus, directly interact with the solar wind and, therefore, are more prone to atmospheric evolution than intrinsic magnetospheres. Venus plasma regions and escape rates seem to be strongly influenced by the solar cycle and by the solar wind pressure. On the other hand, Mars boundaries do not appear to be so dependent on the solar cycle phase, though simulations suggest that the escape rate is. Current estimations of the escape rates are of the order of 1025 particles per second, but these estimates may double and even increase by an order of magnitude during stormy space weather. The role of the exosphere in the interaction needs to be further assessed.

This symposium was undoubtedly unique in the sense that it brought a diverse group of scientists that were able to take part in discussions, appreciate the scientific disciplines of others, and discover the common aspects of the physical processes involved in the different studied environments from Sun to Eath, and stars to planets.

The Symposium SOC was chaired by Sarah Gibson and Hebe Cremades, the LOC by Cristina Mandrini, and the editors of the Proceedings are Cristina Mandrini and David Webb.
